Further, Queensland Appliances’ total liability arising
out of or in connection with the sale of products under these Terms, will not exceed the total price paid by you for the purchase of the product which is the subject of any claim. 7.12 You warrant to Queensland Appliances that you will use the product with reasonable care and only for its intended use. You acknowledge that a breach of this warranty by you may result in a forfeiture of the warranty granted by Queensland Appliances. 7.13 You must, when using any premises or facilities of Queensland Appliances, comply with all reasonable directions and procedures as notified by the staff and employees of Queensland Appliances (and or as notified on
